A rather surprising retirement to be sure, but in all fariness Norman was flagging a bit, especially last season. At his peak, however, he was a supremely effective defender, and goes out having tasted Champions League action! #CanPL #Analytics

Alexander Brazier Rymek @cplnumbers.bsky.social · 16/02/2026

Adekugbe had a fair number of very good seasons, but a few duds, notably two in the last three years, which probably led to his signing elsewhere. Still, one of the better passers this league has seen, and he will be missed! #CanPL #Analytics

One of the all-time CPL stalwarts! Never ranking too highly (partially due to his versatility), but season after season of consistent performances, and much silverware, rank him among the CPL greats! #CanPL #ForgeFC #Analytics

Themi cooled off a little last season from his incredible 2024, because although he improved offensively, the rest of this game suffered. Still a massive loss to the Canadian game as he transfers south of the border. #CanPL #Analytics

Alexander Brazier Rymek @cplnumbers.bsky.social · 23/01/2026

Sturing in 2025 was, and has historically been, a generally unremarkable CB. Perfectly average compared to his peers, with no noticiable flaws or weaknesses. This can be considered good or bad depending on your point of view. #CanPL #InterToronto #Analytics

Alexander Brazier Rymek @cplnumbers.bsky.social · 22/01/2026

Brett Levis has seemingly announced his retirement on social media! During his time in Winnipeg, he was one of the best FBs in the league, and after his return from a brief USL hiatus he was a solid depth CB option on a title-winning team. All the best Brett! #CanPL #Analytics

Coimbra impressed and improved during his three seasons in the CPL, culminating in a permanent starter role last season and a U21 player award. This transfer is a testament to the developmental nature of this league and his quality as a young player! #CanPL #TogetherFromAways #Analytics

Alexander Brazier Rymek @cplnumbers.bsky.social · 20/01/2026

Holding out on this type of player was a choice from Forge, and it has now come back to bite them in a big way. Badibanga in 2024 was an extremely direct and dangerous winger, and if he doesn't miss a step will be a weapon for Inter this season. #CanPL #InterToronto #Analytics

051

Alexander Brazier Rymek @cplnumbers.bsky.social · 20/01/2026

Hojabrpour is absolutely one of the better success stories of the CPL thus far. Perhaps it wasn't the springboard for a young player like other examples, but he developed in this league from a bit player to key contributer, and now is playing in Europe! #CanPL #ForgeFC #Analytics

041

Alexander Brazier Rymek @cplnumbers.bsky.social · 19/01/2026

Reid was an extremely dynamic attacking threat for York last season, someone who was probably serially underutilized in his time in the CPL. It's a shame we never saw him for a better team in a more consistent role. #CanPL #Analytics #USLChampionship

030

Alexander Brazier Rymek @cplnumbers.bsky.social · 16/01/2026

At best, Vehoeven was only an average player during his time in the CPL, posting his best season in 2019 but never again reaching those heights. His passing was always a strong suit, but his other metrics dragged him down. A fine career, and leaves the league a champion! #CanPL #Analytics

020

Alexander Brazier Rymek @cplnumbers.bsky.social · 16/01/2026

Gutierrez did not have stats recorded for him this season, and I am sure he played better than Shome. Neverthless, Shome continues to be a minute muncher despite his historically poor metrics. He will probably get a contract at this level despite...everything. #CanPL #Analytics

000

Alexander Brazier Rymek @cplnumbers.bsky.social · 16/01/2026

Benati was an alright midfield option off the bench in Ottawa, and who was a better threat offensively than a help defensively. She will most likely get more minutes in Halifax, so still room to see her full potential. #NSL #RiseTogether #Analytics

080

Alexander Brazier Rymek @cplnumbers.bsky.social · 13/01/2026

Pechersky has signed for the Roses! Ranking as the best player in the league last season, she is very good at recovering the ball and on ground duels, and ranks the highest in foul differential. Her one real weakness is in defensive actions. Amazing signing! #NSL #AllezLesRoses #Analytics

032

Alexander Brazier Rymek @cplnumbers.bsky.social · 13/01/2026

A stalwart in the AFC Toronto midfield, Regan showed few weaknesses going forward, but was a little rough in duels and defensive actions. She was particularly good at her passing success rates. Great move for her! #NSL #RunItOurWay #Analytics

041

Alexander Brazier Rymek @cplnumbers.bsky.social · 12/01/2026

Excellent acquisition (re-acquisition?) for Ottawa. Mbomio instantly became the best CB on the team when he arrived, and to get him for longer than his initial short-term loan is huge. #CanPL #InterToronto #Analytics

071

Alexander Brazier Rymek @cplnumbers.bsky.social · 11/01/2026

While getting up there, Lopez played very well off the bench for York Uni- I mean Inter Toronto, even if his WPA suggests otherwise. More opportunity might have paid off on the pitch both for him and his club. #CanPL #InterToronto #Analytics

020

Alexander Brazier Rymek @cplnumbers.bsky.social · 11/01/2026

I find it shocking that a talented midfielder forced to play out of position as a closer would leave for greener pastures and the opportunity to play full 90s. Nevertheless, she played well in her role and leaves a champion! #NSL #StrongerByNature #Analytics

031

Alexander Brazier Rymek @cplnumbers.bsky.social · 08/01/2026

Tyr was stuck behind the other three U21 CB options in Ottawa last season, but on a rate basis ranked as the best player of that group. With rumours swirling, it's possible he will play a bigger role next season. #CanPL #ForOttawa #Analytics

040

Alexander Brazier Rymek @cplnumbers.bsky.social · 08/01/2026

Baldisimo was an alright depth option at the 6 for Cavs last season. He was a very good distributer, and a decent duellist, but didn't show up much elsewhere. Decent retention. #CanPL #RideWithUs #Analytics

120

Alexander Brazier Rymek @cplnumbers.bsky.social · 07/01/2026

Golen recently extended with the Rapid, a good get for them. Her numbers are a little variable, but she was one of the better wingers in a weak 2025 NSL class. Good potential here. #NSL #OttawaRapid #Analytics

031

Alexander Brazier Rymek @cplnumbers.bsky.social · 07/01/2026

Chang was one of the best players in the league last year, so this is a shock, unless it is for better things, given she is still young. She doesn't have any standout attributes, but is very well-rounded, if a little offensive minded. Tough loss for the Rise. #NSL #StrongerByNature #Analytics

034

Alexander Brazier Rymek @cplnumbers.bsky.social · 06/01/2026

Jimoh remained an exciting offensive talent in 2025, even if he, expectedly, regressed slightly analytically in a larger sample. Only 17, the sky is the limit for him. #CanMNT #CanPL #InterToronto #Analytics

062

Alexander Brazier Rymek @cplnumbers.bsky.social · 06/01/2026

Abathneh's hyper-inflated short passing and touches stats are doing a lot of heavy lifting for an already medicore WPA grade, but he has definitely increased his defensive prowess from last season. Rumoured for a move, this will only increase his stock. #CanMNT #CanPL #ForOttawa #Analytics

032

Alexander Brazier Rymek @cplnumbers.bsky.social · 06/01/2026

Field has always been a solid FB option off the bench, increasing his defensive impact but regressing slightly offensively from 2024. He would make a good depth option for any CPL club next year. #CanPL #RideWithUs #Analytics

020

Alexander Brazier Rymek @cplnumbers.bsky.social · 06/01/2026

Kobza is the best of the returnees, someone who started his CPL career with great promise but has lapsed into a good-but-not-great option at the 6. A very good passer and duellist, he still has room to grow. #CanPL #RideWithUs #Analytics

010

Alexander Brazier Rymek @cplnumbers.bsky.social · 06/01/2026

Although he scores well, Juhmi's numbers are a little all over the place, typical for someone his age and sample size. He is an excellent dueller though, and his 2025 will be one to watch. #CanPL #ForTheIsle #Analytics

010

Alexander Brazier Rymek @cplnumbers.bsky.social · 06/01/2026

Leon was a serviceable defensive CB last season with York United, but who had much better numbers in 2024. He will likely prove a solid starter again next season. #CanPL #InterToronto #Analytics

010

Alexander Brazier Rymek @cplnumbers.bsky.social · 03/01/2026

KDL is an intriguing free agent, as he had an impressive 2024 but struggled in '23 and '25. He has almost always been an impact player at this level however, even if he lacks finish. Would be a solid get for any team in the CPL. #CanPL #Analytics

010

Alexander Brazier Rymek @cplnumbers.bsky.social · 03/01/2026

The best returnee of the three is Mezquida, who provided offence for a team in desperate need of it, even if his other stats are less impressive. #CanPL #VancouverFC #Analytics

010

Alexander Brazier Rymek @cplnumbers.bsky.social · 02/01/2026

Mekideche's rating is a little inflated given his underlying numbers, so this move isn't too surprising. He showed promise last season, with a good base in a smaller sample, but wasn't able to build on that. He would've still been a good option for most CPL clubs mind. #CanPL #ForTheIsle #Analytics

041

Alexander Brazier Rymek @cplnumbers.bsky.social · 30/12/2025

Didic headlines the trio of departees, but don't overlook Sissoko as a Free Agent. He played very few minutes for ATO last season, but is still a very good bench option in this league. #CanPL #Analytics

Alexander Brazier Rymek @cplnumbers.bsky.social · 29/12/2025

Ohin was a great servant to Valour, and he will surely continue in that vein overseas! #CanPL #Analytics

011

Alexander Brazier Rymek @cplnumbers.bsky.social · 27/12/2025

Emily Amano just re-upped with the Rapid, and although her sample is a little too small for significant analysis, she does look good behind the ball, although her distribution and offensive touch could use some work. #NSL #OttawaRapid #Analytics

011

Alexander Brazier Rymek @cplnumbers.bsky.social · 24/12/2025

Ranking as the best of the three most-used of ATO's U21 CBs, these are solid numbers for a young defender. His pass stats are likely a little inflated from Ottawa's system, but he scored well for defensive actions and his duel sucess rates. #CanPL #ForOttawa #Analytics

050

Alexander Brazier Rymek @cplnumbers.bsky.social · 24/12/2025

A CPL original, Aparicio had the best campaign of his career in 2025. He was pivotal alongside Castro in the ATO midfield, with his only weaknes being a proclivity for giving away fouls. Great retention. #CanPL #ForOttawa #Analytics

150

Alexander Brazier Rymek @cplnumbers.bsky.social · 23/12/2025

Great retention for Forge, as per usual. Ampomah also showed out to be a great crosser and tackler, and all-around his offence was stellar, but his shorter passing leaves room for improvement. He also contributed less on defence than his peers. #CanPL #ForgeFC #Analytics

010

Alexander Brazier Rymek @cplnumbers.bsky.social · 20/12/2025

None of these three had particularly good seasons, but Norman Jr. was the best of the bunch, after showing out much better in 2024. It will be interesting to see their performances after a full season under a new manager. #CanPL #VancouverFC #Analytics

020

Alexander Brazier Rymek @cplnumbers.bsky.social · 18/12/2025

The CPL's loss is the USL's gain! These are very solid numbers for a young defender, even his duel success rates, which usually are weak for players his age. Starting with a base such as this, I expect a lot from him in the future! #CanPL #USL #Analytics

010

Alexander Brazier Rymek @cplnumbers.bsky.social · 18/12/2025

In a smallish sample, Koninicks graded out pretty well! He ranked above average in all the metrics I expect for an impact CB (especially ball control) although I would like to see improvement with his physicality and ball recovery - those should come with time though. #CanPL #ForTheIsle #Analytics

010

Alexander Brazier Rymek @cplnumbers.bsky.social · 18/12/2025

In only a handful of minutes, really not enough to make a true determination really, Kovacevic rated out well! A good impact off the bench for the first ever NSL signing! #NSL #RunItOurWay #Analytics

010

Alexander Brazier Rymek @cplnumbers.bsky.social · 18/12/2025

Statistically, Reid headlines this bunch. He has always looked good according to my work, however, he has never really been given the run of play I would expect given his rate impact. I think most clubs would do well to sign him, or any one of this group (save maybe Ferazzo). #CanPL #Analytics

000

Alexander Brazier Rymek @cplnumbers.bsky.social · 18/12/2025

Good stats indeed! A smaller sample perhaps, but Froese made an impact when he was on the field, and would have been a solid pickup for other CPL teams. #CanPL #Analytics

010

Alexander Brazier Rymek @cplnumbers.bsky.social · 18/12/2025

I am sorely behind on NSL player movement, but Downing to the Tides is a welcome reinforcement for a team bereft of talent last year. A smaller sample to be sure, but assuming she becomes a main option for Halifax, she is sure to put up big numbers in 2026! #NSL #RiseTogether #Analytics

071

Alexander Brazier Rymek @cplnumbers.bsky.social · 18/12/2025

A play much sought after in the CPL I am sure, the young striker put up very good numbers for Valour this past campaign. I would caution that good players on bad teams often get inflated statistical profiles, but the sky is the limit for Morgan with this base to work with! #CanPL #Analytics

020

Alexander Brazier Rymek @cplnumbers.bsky.social · 18/12/2025

These are incredible numbers for a 20 year old. Nothing really jumps off the page, but having no real downsides and having such impressive duelling numbers is extremely promising. He will do well in the MLS I am sure! #CanPL #RideWithUs #Analytics

040

Alexander Brazier Rymek @cplnumbers.bsky.social · 18/12/2025

Jeremovic was a highly serviceable FB for Forge this past season - no real weaknesses, but no real strengths either. Very well rounded, he will continue to be a good weapon for Smyrniotis off the bench. #CanPL #ForgeFC #Analytics

000

Alexander Brazier Rymek @cplnumbers.bsky.social · 11/12/2025

Headlining this trio is Choiniere, who was a very good player in fairly limited minutes for #ForgeFC, and with the assumption that he will see a lot more of the field for #FCSupra, he could be a genuine weapon next season. #CanPL #Analytics

010

Alexander Brazier Rymek @cplnumbers.bsky.social · 26/11/2025

A little late, but DB Pridham has been called up to the National Team! Like Salter before her, she was the best striker in the league, even if the rate metrics are not as kind to her. She also took on a lot of duels, making up for her mediocre success rate. Well deserved! #CanPL #Analytics

061

Alexander Brazier Rymek @cplnumbers.bsky.social · 26/11/2025

Given the run of the wing in Valour, Twardek was only a replacement-level winger. His main strength was his crossing, which came mostly from pure volume, and his aerials. Last year, when he played more of a FB/WB type, he profiled much better, albeit in a smaller sample size. #CanPL #Analytics
